I think if you were at that dealer a couple of months before getting prices on a tractor and then show up looking to get warranty on a tractor that you purchased elsewhere then I'm sure you are going to have a long wait if that dealers shop is busy and they in fact agree to perform the work. i think most dealers would be more sympathetic if you moved into the area or if the dealer with whom you purchased the tractor from went out of business. I dont think this problem is privy only to New Holland. I think you will find this problem at most any dealer regaurdless of the color of tractor they sell and regaurdless of what the warranty paperwork says. Lets be realistic. Car dealers make money off warranty. Tractor dealers loose money on warranty repairs.

Might want to consider trading the tracotr in for a compact Excavator. IT is designed to perform the work you are talking about. It will probably pay for itself in the time you save alone.

I hope you were able to get out on that tractor today and perform some serious work.I'm glad to see that this tractor board allows us to engage in some healthy conversation. As I was reading my New holland warranty agreement today, you know the one you sign when the tractor is delivered but never take the time to read because your to excited to get on that blue piece of iron and play. The back says and I quote" Repairs or replacements will be performed by the SELLING DEALER, following deliver of the product by the PURCHASER to the dealers place of business. When the purchaser has moved a LONG DISTANCE from the selling dealer or the selling dealer is no longer in business, any New Hollaned dealer authorized to sell and service the described products may perform the repair at its dealership." I dont feel that you need to spend a extra $3000 to $5000 dollars on a tractor, but there are enough dealers locally to get a good deal. The large equipment manufacturers assign territories to their dealers and can be penalized if they sell outside there territory. Maybe you say this is not right but it is true. These dealers have alot invested in inventory, facilities, service trucks and people and need some sort of protection. There is enough competition with other manufacturers that allows the customer to work his best price.

They are just trying to offer a cheaper priced tractor versus the deluxe version. I think they could offer some of those features for someone who wants a standard transmission versus the hydrostatic transmission.

Hello everyone. While on the subject of tractor trailering, I'm curious as to what insurance coverage everyone has for tractor/equipment during transport. If this subject has already been discussed previously on a separate thread, I apologize. I currently have a J.D. 755 and 18ft trailer that I occasionally take on the road to do side jobs. I was told that the trailer could be added to my existing auto policy for comprehensive/collision coverage. No big deal. My question is mainly with coverage for my tractor/equipment when it's being hauled. When I inquired at my insurance agency, they told me that if the equipment is on my property, then it would be covered by my homeowner's. When I asked about coverage for over the road, they mentioned something called an "inland marine policy" and a "mobile agricultural equipment policy". I'd be interested to find out what everyone is using to insure your tractor/equipment during transport. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I live in Michigan. Thanks!!

For anyone who may be interested, there is a John Deere #7 Backhoe for sale on e-bay. I believe the auction ends on Jan. 20. Description says it's in excellent condition and fully assembled. Not sure if it includeds subframe. Starting bid was $3500 and it's located in North Carolina. I already have a #7 backhoe on my 755 and don't think I need another.

The one problem with gas generators is maintenance. If you have long periods between power outages and dont run the generator periodically then you could have a problem with stale fuel and gummed up carburators which will render the generator useless when the power goes out. Make sure you periodically start and let the generator run and keep fresh gas on hand.

I dont believe there are any after market sources for this engine. The engine is available thru New Holland. What Happened Maybe it can be fixed.You Can also get a short block if your cylinder head is still good.

If you can afford to, I would get the FEL with a skidsteer style release bracket and bucket. This allows you to easily remove the bucket and install a plow in its place. Add remote hydraulics for power angle of the plow and you have a great snow fighter with the ability to easily install bucket back on machine to move piles of snow.

New Hollands F200 oil was designed to work in extreme cold weather and they also say it works good in the hot weather( year round use). this is the only new oil they have come out with in many yearsn other than up grading the 134 oil. I dont know if the F200 is synthetic. They never have advertised it that way.

Well Birrrd,

As I recall number 2 is home heating oil( maybe I'm getting my numbers mixed up)but I can tell you from years of repairing these tractors that home heating fuel (number2?) does not burn the best and does not lubricate the injection pump the best(I dont care if the manufaturer recommends it. They probably do because of the rural population that owns tractors and cannot easily get to a better source). I never mentioned that there was a different fuel for high altitude. You will find that most large equipment manufaturers have to compensate for high altitude with such things as adding turbo chargers to the engine in order to get more air into the engine.Since the gentlemen who owns this tractor cannot change his location then maybe by trying another type of diesel fuel may help his problem. I also feel that if the engine is not running hot enough then this will cause the engine to smoke. As always there could be a mechanical problem with the tractor and it should be checked out by the dealer. I'm shure they are aware of problems that do exist in selling machines at a higher altitude. Thats all I have to say about that.
